Ok hi, I’m the anon who asked about the “if the t$$ characters had to choose someone to be tortured who and why”—I’m not surprised with Hunter lol, he doesn’t seem to be particularly close with any of the others and definitely would be the one to choose in that situation (poor Hunter I love him)
Now I’m wondering, who would they pick if Hunter was also excluded? So the only options would be Joy, Jericho, Benji, and Kaius? Same situation as before, they each have to choose, cannot choose themself, and must give a reason for why. I feel like this would be a little more fun / angsty (not that it wasn’t before lmao) particularly because these four have more going on in their dynamic except bare minimum tolerance for each other.
And for fun, saying we’re building off of their last answers, how would Hunter react knowing that everyone wanted to choose him because he would be able to handle it best but they couldn’t choose him, meaning someone else had to get hurt when he so easily could’ve been in their place?
aw man that does change things up--
Especially if like you said, their captor or whoever heard them choose Hunter and then went "actually nah, he's off the menu" hehehe
Jericho, if allowed to speak, would tell everyone to just vote for him. For his own vote, he'd very, very guiltily choose Joy, because he knows she's tough
Joy, if unsure what the extent of the torture would be, would choose Kaius, because she doesn't want to do anything that keeps Jericho from going home to his kid. If she knew it would suck, but not do any serious damage, she'd choose Jericho.
Kaius has seen Joy's determination and attitude firsthand and knows she'd probably handle it the best, so he'd choose her. She'd honestly take it as kind of a compliment (before y'know, the screaming starts)
Benji would be torn between Jericho and Joy, because he knows they're both the ones who'd bounce back the easiest. In the end, he'd go with Jericho, because Joy was his maze buddy and she saved his ass from a drone. He'd probably be crying when he gave his name
Hunter wouldn't be able to bring himself to choose Jericho or Joy after the maze, since he feels like he owes them something. So uh, Kaius because he's a bitch (/hj)
Knowing he was the unanimous first choice, Hunter would feel a upset and othered deep down, but this would manifest in him cussing out their captor and asking why the fuck isn't he a good enough pick, huh?
